Yeah, I expect Point to go cheaper simply because he's signing with Tampa, and because it seems quite clear that Marner wants the very last cent he can ring out of the Leafs (but also wants very much to stay).
I also think the hold up on Tkachuk is the term vs. the money per se.
But of course, you expect the AAV to rise as the term gets greater.
I think Treliving can buy into the $8.5M AAV (or whatever), but wants it on an 8-year term, not a 5-year term.
